More About This Recipe

If there’s one thing summer has an abundance of, it’s corn. Okay, tomatoes, zucchini and herbs too. But personally, I don’t know a single soul who doesn’t love corn. In fact, it’s the ONLY vegetable my very picky, non-vegetable eating, 19 year-old brother will eat (pathetic, I know). Even younger kids all love corn! Clearly, corn is a favored veggie. Unfortunately, it can take up a lot of grill and oven space—and I’m always on the lookout for new ways to free up space during big summer cookouts. This is when the slow-cooker comes in handy. It‘s the perfect vessel for cooking my corn and having it ready in time for dinner. Yay! Making corn in the slow-cooker is honestly so simple and makes eating it later in the day so much easier… and in case you were wondering, yes, it is delicious too! Way better than boiled, and just as good as grilled.
